(a) The purposes of this Ordinance, requiring certain County contracts will be let only after competitive bidding, are to: (i) Secure economy in the construction of County public works and in the expenditure of County funds for services, materials, supplies and equipment needed by the County; (ii) Protect the taxpayers from collusive contracts, favoritism, fraud, extravagance, and improvidence in the procurement of those things necessary for the operp ioo o14 ou{jty government; and c r-1` rri itc c)• (iii) to promote actual, honest and effective competition to td that Bch proposal or bid received and considered for the construction of County impEner oche r supplying of services, materials and equipment for public use is in competition,AvittiThll $heo ids upon the same basis so that County contracts are secured at the lowest cost to the taxpayers. Therefore, this Ordinance is to be liberally construed in order to effectuate the ends described above. Section 2. For the purposes of this Ordinance, person means individuals, firms, joint ventures, partnerships, corporations, and other entities authorized to do business in the State of Florida. Section 3. If a contract is awarded in violation of this Ordinance, the contractor is not entitled to, and may not receive, any payment whether based on the contract price or based on quantum meruit for work performed. Section 4. This Ordinance and any contract awarded by Monroe County pursuant to competitive bidding, is subject to the terms and conditions of any state or federal grant that may fund a County contract, or the terms of any applicable federal or state statute or administrative rule. If there is a conflict between a requirement of this Ordinance and such grant, statute or rule, the grant, statute or rule is controlling. Section 5.(a)This Ordinance applies to all County contracts for services (excluding services covered by the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act, Sec. 287.055, F.S., utility/local telephone services, and legal services), goods, and public works, (excluding change orders authorized under a lawfully executed County/contractor contract) that are, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, expected to cost $25,000 or more. A contract may not be split into multiple contracts for services, goods or public improvements for the purpose of evading the requirements of this Ordinance. (b) The County Administrator may, in his discretion, require that contracts for services, goods or public works, that are expected to cost less than $25,000 comply with the terms of this Ordinance. (c) If the goods or services sought are expected to cost $25,000 or more and are available to the County through an existing contract between a vendor and the State of Florida, the United States, or another Florida county, municipality or special district, then the price of that existing contract will be the maximum price for such goods or service in any bids received by the County. The published notice must state the maximum price. If no bids are received at or below the maximum price, then the County may purchase the goods or services pursuant to the existing contract without further compliance with the terms of this Ordinance. Section 6. (a) The solicitation of bids for contracts covered by this Ordinance must be made through published notice. (b) The published notice requesting bids must set forth a brief summation of the service, goods or public work desired together with a description of where and from whom a potential 2 • bidder may obtain more detailed information. The published notice must mention any applicable statutory requirement on certain construction work such as, by way of example and not limitation, that the bidder must be a state certified or registered contractor. The notice must state that all bids submitted must be sealed and must be submitted to the Office of the County OMB Director. The notice must state the date, time and place where the bids will be opened. (c) The solicitation of bids for services, goods, or public works that are projected to cost less than $500,000 must be publicly advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the County on a date which is no later than 21 days (excluding the publication date) before the date established for the bid opening and which is no later than five days before any pre-bid conference. (d) The solicitation of bids for services, goods, or public works, that are projected to cost $500,000 or more must be publicly advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the County, on a date which is no later than 30 days (excluding the publication date) before the date established for the bid opening and which is no later than five days before any pre-bid conference. Section 7. County departments must prepare the bid specifications in advance of the publication date. The specifications must include, where applicable, plans, descriptions of the service or description of the goods, the estimated quantities, the contract format, insurance and bonding requirements, all as appropriate to the services, goods, or public improvements desired. The specifications may not be drafted or structured in a way that only one person is capable of submitting a bid that meets such specifications. The specifications must be sufficiently detailed, definite and precise upon all the essential elements that are to be a part of the contract so that a bid received will constitute a definite offer for the contract that may be accepted by the Board of County Commissioners without further negotiation. When the bid specifications are in final form — and before the publication date—the original specifications must be delivered to the custody of the County OMB Director by the department that prepared them. The Director will retain custody until after the bids are opened. The department may retain a copy or copies of the specifications for its use but, if there is a conflict between the terms of the specifications in the Director's custody and the department's, the specifications in the Director's custody are controlling. Any amendments to the 3 specifications 'must be made through the OMB Director who shall be responsible for notifying prospective bidders of the amendment(s). Section 8. In order to determine if persons submitting bids are responsible, all bids for contracts to be awarded under this Ordinance must contain the following information: (a) A list of the person's shareholders with 5% or more of the stock or, if a general partnership, a list of the general partners; or, if a limited liability company, a list of its members; (b) A list of the officers and directors of the person; (c) The number of years the person has been operating and, if different, the number of years it has been providing the services, goods, or construction services called for in the bid specifications; (d) The number of years the person has operated under its present name and any prior names; (e) Answers to the following questions regarding claims and suits: (i) Has the person ever failed to complete work or provide the goods for which it has contracted? (If yes, provide details.) (ii) Are there any judgments, claims, arbitration proceeding or suits pending or outstanding against the person, or its officers or general partners? (If yes, provide details.) (iii) Has the person, within the last five years, been a party to any law suit or arbitration with regard to a contract for services, goods or construction services similar to those requested in the specifications? (If yes, provide details.) (iv) Whether, within the last five years, an officer, general partner, controlling shareholder or major creditor of the person was an officer, general partner, controlling shareholder or major creditor of any other entity that failed to perform services or furnish goods similar to those sought in the request for bids; (v) Customer references; (vi) Credit references; and (vii) Any information requested by the County department involved in soliciting the bids related to the financial qualifications, technical competence, the ability to satisfactorily perform 4 within the contract time constraints, or other information the department deems necessary to enable the department and Board of County Commissioners to determine if the person bidding is responsible. Except for subsection 8(e)(vii), the provisions of this section do not apply to publicly traded corporations or publicly traded limited partnerships. Section 9. (a) Each bid must be accompanied by a bid security in an amount equal to 5% of the bid price either in the form of a certified check made payable to the County or in a bond from a surety company authorized to do business in Florida. The bid securities will remain in the custody of the OMB Director until forfeited or released as provided elsewhere in this section. If, after the Board accepts the bid the bidder refuses to execute the contract or commence the work or provide the goods called for, then the bid security will be forfeited to, and become the property of, the County as liquidated damages for.the County's loss of bargain. If the successful bidder executes the contract and commences performance, then the bid security will be returned. The bid securities of unsuccessful bidders and bid securities in the County's possession for more than 90 days from the date of bid opening must also be returned. (b) All bids must be sealed and submitted to the Office of the County OMB Director before the time described in the published notice for the bid opening. Any bid submitted after that time may not be considered. (c) All bids are irrevocable for 90 days from the bid opening date. However, if a bidder discovers an error in his bid, he may withdraw the bid and obtain a refund of the bid security if the bid has not yet been accepted by the Board of County Commissioners. However, the security may be returned only if the bidder can show, to the satisfaction of the County OMB Director, the following equitable factors: (i) The bidder acted in good faith in submitting the bid; (ii) In preparing the bid there was an error of such magnitude that enforcement of the bid would work a severe hardship upon the bidder; and (iii) The error was not a result of gross negligence of willful inattention. 5 (d) All bids must be opened at the time and place described in the published notice. In order for a bid to be accepted by the Board of County commissioners and a contract awarded, the bid must be the lowest in price, must conform to the specifications, and have been submitted by a responsible bidder. For the purposes of this Ordinance, the following terms have the following meanings: (i) Lowest in price means the lowest total economic cost to the County including, but not limited to, the contract price and demands upon County equipment and County staff time. (ii) Conform to the specifications means that there is no substantial variation between the bid submitted and the County specifications. Slight or immaterial variations from the specifications do not create a non-conforming bid. However, any variation that destroys the competitive character of the bidding process, causes or confers a material change more favorable to one bidder than the others, or furnishes one bidder an advantage or benefit not enjoyed by the other bidders is a substantial variation and results in a non-conforming bid. (iii) Responsible bidder means a bidder who: (1) is responsible in terms of financial resources; and (2) possesses the skills needed to provide high quality services, goods, or public works; and (3) has demonstrated a history of honesty and integrity in his business dealings and in performing his obligations under prior contracts. The Board of County Commissioners' determination, based on the criteria set forth in subsection 9(d), as to whether a bid is the lowest in price, whether a bid variation from the County's specification is slight and immaterial or substantial and material, and whether a bidder is responsible, is discretionary with the Board and is final. Section 10. (a) Once the Board of County Commissioners has determined which bid is the lowest conforming bid by a responsible bidder, the Board may vote to accept that bid and authorize the Mayor to execute a written contract on behalf of the County. If the initially successful bidder refuses to execute the contract or, if after the execution, refuses to commence performance, then the Board may vote to accept the bid of the next lowest conforming responsible bidder and so on. However, the Board of County Commissioners at all times reserves the right to waive variations 6 from the specifications that do not render a bid non-conforming, to reject all bids, readvertise for bids, or to abandon any project, purchase of goods, or request for bids. (b) A contract is not entered into until the Board of County Commissioners votes to accept a bid and directs the Mayor to execute a contract on behalf of the County. Regardless of any representations made by any County officer, employee or County contractor or consultant, and regardless of any funds expended or work performed by the bidder or a prospective contractor, the County is not liable or obligated to pay the bidder/prospective contractor any money until the bid has been accepted by the Board of County Commissioners. Section 11. The Board of County Commissioners may dispense with the bidding provisions of this Ordinance and contract directly for services, goods or public works in the case of an emergency. For the purposes of this Ordinance, an emergency means: (a) An immediate danger to the public health or safety; or (b) A danger of loss of public or private property that requires immediate government action; or (c) An interruption in the delivery of an essential governmental service; or (d) A substantial risk that a funding source of a contract will be diminished or lost because the time required to competitively award bids after the funds become available exceeds the time within which the funding source must be spent. Section 12. Sections 2-541 through 2-543, Monroe County Code are hereby repealed. Section 13. (a) The procedures provided for in this Section 13 are cumulative to those set forth in Sections 1-11 of this Ordinance and the County Purchasing Policies. They do not supersede the authority or ability of the County to determine the qualifications and bid responsiveness of any prospective contractor on a bid-by-bid or contract-by-contract basis. (b) The eligibility of persons to bid for the award of County contracts may be suspended on account of any of the following acts or omissions by the person, an executive officer of the person, or a principal or director of the person: 7 (i) Conviction for commission of a criminal offense as an incident to obtaining or attempting to obtain a public or private contract or subcontract, or in the performance of such contract or subcontract. (ii) Conviction, under any state or federal statute, of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, receiving stolen property, or any other offense indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty which currently, seriously, and directly affects the person's responsibility as a County contractor. (iii) Conviction under any state or federal antitrust statute arising out of the submission of a bid or proposal. (iv) Violation of contract, as set forth below, of a character which is regarded by the administrative officer to be so serious to justify suspension: (1) Failure without good cause to perform in accordance with the specifications or within the time limit provided in the contract. (2) A record of failure to perform or of unsatisfactory performance in accordance with the terms of one or more contacts; provided that failure to perform or unsatisfactory performance caused by acts beyond the control of the contractor is not a basis for suspension. (v) A history of producing work that is shoddy or otherwise contains substandard workmanship. (vi) Failure to supply or furnish the County warranties required by a contract. (vii) Any other cause determined to be so serious and compelling as to affect responsibility as a County contractor, including a suspension by another governmental entity for any cause similar to those listed in (b)(i)-(vi) or a history of defaulting on payments to suppliers or subcontractors. (c) The County OMB Director or, in the case of building contractors, the County Engineer (collectively the administrative officer), may suspend a person's eligibility to be awarded a County contract after determining that one or more of the acts or omissions listed in (b)(i)-(vii) occurred. (d) If the administrative officer decides to suspend a person's eligibility for the award of County contracts, the officer must reduce his decision to writing, state in detail the reason for the suspension, and furnish a copy of his or her decision to the person affected, either by hand delivery, 8 special delivery return receipt requested, or by a private delivery service. The suspension is effective when received by the person affected and will remain in effect until vacated or modified by the vendor committee or a court of competent jurisdiction. However, the filing of a request for hearing de novo under subsection (e) will stay the suspension until the vendor committee affirms or modifies the administrative officer's decision. (e) The person suspended by the administrative officer may request a hearing de novo by filing a request for a hearing with the County Administrator's Office within ten days after his or her receipt of the administrative officer's suspension. The County Administrator must schedule a hearing before the vendor committee within 21 days of the County Administrator's receipt of the request. The vendor committee consists of: the County Administrator, a County Commissioner appointed by the Board of County Commissioners; the County Attorney; a Division Director selected by the County Administrator whose division has infrequent or no business dealings with suspended person; and, if the person was suspended by the OMB Director, the County Engineer, if the person was suspended by the County Engineer, the OMB Director. All vendor committee hearings are public hearings (meetings) under Sec. 286.011, FS. Published notice of a vendor committee hearing must be five days or more in advance of such hearing, excluding the date of publication and the date of the hearing. The hearing must be informally conducted. At the hearing, the suspended person and the administrative officer may offer such evidence as each deems necessary to support each party's respective position, although the vendor committee may exclude immaterial, irrelevant or repetitious evidence. All other evidence of a type commonly relied on by reasonably prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs may be entertained. The vendor committee must, in writing, affirm, vacate, or modify the administrative officer's suspension within ten days after the conclusion of the hearing. The vendor committee's decision is the final administrative action of Monroe County. (f) Suspensions ordered under this section must be for a minimum of six months, but may not exceed three years. The length of the suspension should be determined based on the number of acts or omissions detailed in subsections (b)(i)-(vii) that were found to be committed by the person suspended as well as the severity of those acts or omissions. 9 (g) When the person suspended is a business entity other than an individual, a suspension will apply to a successor entity in the same or similar business. For the purposes of this subsection, successor entity means any business entity that: (i) purchases the stock of a suspended corporation or entity; (ii) has stock that was exchanged for the debt of the suspended entity; (iii) has substantially the same principals, members, shareholders, officers or directors as the suspended entity; (iv) has substantially the same individuals who were the principals, members, shareholders, officers or directors of the suspended entity as creditors. (h) When the suspended person is a business entity or partnership that, in order to lawfully conduct business, must be qualified by a State certified or registered contractor, or by an individual holding a professional license issued by the State Department of Business Regulation, and the qualifier is also a shareholder, officer, director, partner or creditor of the suspended entity or partnership, then any suspension extends to a subsequent entity or partnership with the same individual as the qualifier, if that individual is a principal, member, shareholder, officer, director, partner, or creditor of the subsequent entity or partnership. (i) When any corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship is suspended due to operations or activities of an officer, director, partner or employee who qualifies the business through the issuance of a State or County certificate of competency for contractors, or the issuance of a professional license by the State Department of Business Professional Regulation, the suspension will extend to any other business of which the same individual is the sole qualifier. (j) A person suspended under this section may not be a sub-subcontractor or subcontractor on any County project. The County OMB Director must maintain a list of suspended persons and make that list available to all prospective bidders in order to assure that a suspended person is not employed as a subcontractor or sub-subcontractor on a County project. A bid is automatically non-conforming if it lists a suspended person as a subcontractor or sub-subcontractor. After the contract is awarded, the employment of a suspended person is a material breach of the 10 County/contractor contract and entities the County, in its discretion, to terminate the contract with no further liability to the contractor beyond payment of the portion of the contract price which may be due for work satisfactorily completed up to the date of termination. A sentence similar to the preceding must appear in all County contracts where the use of subcontractors or sub- subcontractors is contemplated, expected or authorized. Section 14. The County Administrator is authorized to prescribe administrative instructions to implement this Ordinance but no such instruction may contradict a substantive or procedural provision. Section 15. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or provision of this Ordinance is held invalid, the remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected by such invalidity. Section 16. All Ordinances or parts of Ordinances in conflict with this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of said conflict. Section 17. The provisions of this Ordinance shall be included and incorporated in the Code of Ordinances of the County of Monroe, Florida, as an addition to amendment thereto, and shall be appropriately renumbered to conform to the uniform numbering system of the Code. Section 18. This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon receipt of official notice from the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Florida that this Ordinance has been filed with that Office.
